Schatze, My Lifelong Hangout Buddy.

Image
By Josh Maust Being an only child, I always had a desire to know what it was like to have a sibling. That changed at eight years old when my family purchased our Brittany, Schatze. She instantly became my best friend as we grew up together.   Schatze was, and still is, an energetic, happy pooch. She loves to run around our yard, go on walks and she can never not be around someone. Any time we are in the house, she will lay right in the middle of the hallway, between my parents’ room and my room, and any time we leave for a while, she is always super excited to greet us when we get home.   Schatze loves coming with us everywhere we go, too. Anytime someone goes to the car, even if she can’t come, she will immediately hop right in the backseat and lay down with a “where are we going” expression on her face. She loves coming on vacation with us and experiencing the new places we go each year, especially because she can play with my cousins’ golden retriever that they bring along as well.

Jake & I & The National Dog Show

Image
By Colleen Joslin I am so excited to tell you about Jake and my amazing good fortune to be involved with The National Dog Show. I know...I know. Everyone thinks their dog is the best but Jake truly is ​​ . 😊 PERSONALITY Jake is very energetic and at the same time, he can be a lazy lump (he loves to lay down and just be pet). Jake is so lovable, sometimes we think we have a cat - rubbing his head in between your legs is his favorite pastime. His bark may be intimidating from the other side of the door, but once you see him, you will be greeted with nothing but kindness and excitement. Here are Jake’s particulars: Age: ​ 7 years Sex: ​ ​ Male Weight: ​ 65 pounds  Breed: ​ Labradoodle Why Jake is a part of the family I was more than excited to get a dog after watching the National Dog Show that airs on

From Fear to Forever Love, My First Dog

By: Kate Bradford Being an intern at Vizion  Group Public Relations  in  s uburban Philadelphia , I have been lucky enough to play a part in  promoting  the National Do g Show hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. W orking with the National Dog Show makes me grateful that I have my own dog  and  am able to share  wonderful memories  together.    The best way  to explain my love and passion for dogs  is this story  about how my dog came into my life. As a child, I grew up terrified of dogs. Our family friends had all kinds of  canines   ranging from  G olden  R etrievers to  B ernese  M ountain  D ogs , and all sizes in between. I would dread having to show up at dinner parties to be greeted by an energetic puppy  that could knock me over with a simple lick.   Then one year, my  perspective  changed and I  became   infatuated  with the idea of  owning my own dog .  At the beginning of 5 th  grade, m y best friend got a puppy  and  that   made me realize I wanted   the same joy and

In Memory of my Guardian Angel

In Memory Of my Guardian Angel By: Chaza Fares             In 1999, I was a two-year-old toddler living in Philadelphia, a city where all the busy people are out and getting their day done. One day, my father and I headed to the elevator after a nice day out in the neighborhood. Seeing the celestial city was the thing that I loved best while living in Philadelphia. After living in Romania for a year, it taught me how much difference there was between the two worlds. My little eyes were shocked at how the buildings were completely built and so shiny due to the wealth of the city.             I ran to the elevator while getting excited for it to open so I could get my daily amusement ride. It was so much fun for me. The elevator finally came down and it gradually opened up. There I saw a man holding two leashes attached to two big, mean-looking rottweiler s. I stepped back while looking at the dogs. The dogs looked back at me and starte
